28th Amendment Project

The 28th Amendment Project is an interactive activity hosted at the National Constitution Center‘s Google Drafting Lab. The lab opened in 2015 as a space for citizens and drafters to explore and evaluate the process of constitutional design. In the 28th Amendment Project, citizens participate in a brief exercise in which they engage in each stage of constitutional drafting: research, deliberation, and decision-making.

The participants’ assigned objective is to identify promising constitutional amendment ideas using Constitute. Through the exercise, many participants develop a deeper understanding of their constitution and the views of their fellow citizens.
